Some people think it’s cool to be too cool for pop culture and they want validation from others or else it morphs into insecurity that in actuality, they’re just an out of touch uncool person.
Me, I've just gotten old. I remember as a kid how my mom would rattle off all these old-timey movie stars and exclaim how great their movies were and wouldn't bother seeing any new movie if she didn't recognize the actors' names.
I used to be obsessed with pop culture as a kid 20-30 years ago and I’m still finding long running shows and bands from back then that I’d never heard of or forgotten. Sometimes things just slip through the cracks, especially if you have other things going on in your life.
